the 6 dislikes are from kelly and her squad
-
Most artists: yup, here’s an album :)
Melanie: here’s a whole ass story ;) -
Me singing the weird reverbed parts of Numbers:
The demon I summoned: hello -
For “Field Trip”, I really liked when she sang, “but is your empathy authentic? Is it?”. I don’t know why, it just sounds really good.
-
Am I the only one who gets Nurse's Office vibes from Test Me?
-
This is her most underrated piece of art! The lyricism on this EP is probably her best work ! 🎀

Me doing homework and listening to her album:

I am listening to the album while studying

song meanings
Notebook: a breakup
Test me: overcoming your boundaries
Brain and heart: trying to fit too many emotions into your own soul
Numbers: the ignorance of people
Glued: being manipulated, clingy and stuck in a phase of life
Field trip: being treated like an object
The bakery: being fired unfairly -
"Glued" is sooo underrated. It's my favorite off the whole EP. After that is Brain And Heart, Numbers, and Test Me. :3

1- Notebook - 0:00
I'm not physically fulfilled
You've never held it down all night
And you're selfish 'cause you always think your ass is always right
And you never see the lesson when it's right in front your eyes
Are you writing this shit down?
'Cause baby boy I think it's time
Time you learned a thing or two
'Bout how to keep a girl like me with you
Time you learned how to switch it up
I'm tired of running to you, just give up
'Cause I didn't sign up for this
Had to make it ten times more than you, boy
When I sacrificed blood for you
I sacrificed blood
Write this shit in your notebook, baby
Since you never wrote love letters to me, to me
Don't forget all the things I've taught you
You'll need it for someone who isn't me, ain't me
What's the point in your "I love you"s
When they don't hold any weight?
You touch your computer much more
Than you have ever touched me
Every night you come back home then you just go back to sleep
Laying next to just a friend who occasionally
fucks me
Time you know just how I feel
Since you told me you'll wait forever
Time you start growing up
Age is nothing if you're not evolved
Yeah, I didn't have time for this but I still gave you my all
I sacrificed blood for you
I sacrificed blood
Write this shit in your notebook, baby
Since you never wrote love letters to me, to me
Don't forget all the things I've taught you
You'll need it for someone who isn't me, ain't me
2- Test me - 2:30
Ha, ha
Woo
Hey God, I'll be the jester
Entertain ya to the best of my ability
When I suffer more, fragility, when I answer
Came here for a reason, oh-oh
So stop complaining, all have our seasons, oh-oh
It's not just a joke or a lesson to live through
Every which way in second, there's a breakthrough
I'm mortal, oh-oh-oh
Deflected by this form, oh-oh-oh
So I'd rather be tested by goddesses
Resting their heads upon pillows
Of all they have learned
I'm not to be forgotten
Trap your books when I walk in
Magic talks, without talking
I'll make the most before the coffin
Born to be desired, oh-oh
Gotta learn, yeah, eyes are always on the next score
But space isn't there to always be filled up
It's the quiet, the downtime to breathe in my lungs
'Cause I'm mortal, oh-oh-oh
Deflected by this form, oh-oh-oh
So I beg to be tested by goddesses
Resting their heads upon pillows
Of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, oh-oh-oh
Test me, I'm mortal, oh-oh-oh
And I beg to be tested by goddesses
Resting their heads upon pillows of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, oh-oh-oh, defected by this form, oh-oh-oh
And I beg to be tested by goddesses
Resting their heads upon pillows of all they have learned
'Cause I'm mortal, oh-oh-oh
(Give me an A+ if I'm doing this thing right)
Deflected by this form, oh-oh-oh
And I'd rather be be tested by goddesses
Resting their heads upon pillows of all they have learned
3- Brain And Heart - 5:24
Help me when I'm at a loss for words
Bring up all of my memories for the please and the temporal
False lovin', when I was illogical
Didn't know they held each other hands as they made one whole
Brain stem, yields temperature
Arise now, sweat, it drops down my silky flesh
But doing up my consciousness
Good, good, good now
Ability to sleep sound
Throughout the start times
An illusion, if you just remove it
When did humans start to separate
Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone
Flip it around the other way
If they were apart and you had no powers
Start on no day, the base, only a shell remains
What fun is it, to bein' so calculated
Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting
Silent expressed push my head into my chest
Bind and look forever wet
Don't drift too far they said
Help me when I'm too detached and cold
Give me the vitality, identity, to trust love more
Blood to the water, neither can fuel us alone
Fervency in my arteries, passion bloomin' through my bones
Heart strings trigger emotion streams
A God belongs, a journey where rivers connect all of me
But, but be it steadfast, don't you disappoint me
Sometimes I think you're all I need, what's beyond belief
When did humans start to separate
Brain and heart as if they could stay alive alone
Flip it around the other way
If they were apart and you had no powers
Start on no day, the base, only a shell remains
What fun is it, to bein' so calculated
Or be taken advantage of, 'cause your heart's too trusting
Silent expressed push my head into my chest
Bind and look forever wet
Don't drift too far they said
4- Number - 8:47
Count up your portions, count up your checks
Feeding your fam while you're coming at my neck
When ya gonna freeze with the cruel dramatics?
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice
Butter your bullshit, set up your fence
I'm just the chicken giving you the egg
Soon you're gonna see that your breath was wasted
Don't speak too soon on your doubts, you're making
A big deal out of a little thing
Why should I try to conform to formulated paths?
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before
And all your idle teaching and your criticism lack
The potential to penetrate my solid golden path
To decide what my future is, I'm my own clairvoyant
There's no controlling me
Imagination on ascend
Take me to Venus, let me explode
I'm ready to pop like a volcano
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna
Shake me like soda creme, but, of course
Use all your words to distract from the source
Of where all the growth on the paper happens
Leave me alone in my own concoction
Pricking all my fingertips to carve out many roads
Pushing out the petals from the bud of what I know
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before
And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"
But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel
They replaced their search for knowledge
With the reach of many material gains
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive
Empathetic bodies crying from the pain
It's too late to grow their frame
Of mind it seems that it's already made
No use in arguing with someone who doesn't
Wanna prioritize birthing of creation
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong which I've done time and time before
And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"
But not just by material I'm talking 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel -
I know many people want Melanie to venture out and make an album/ep about her or one that focuses on herself instead of crybaby, but seeing how this ep gets a lot of hate and people don't really like it compared to the other albums makes me think Melanie would be hesitant to release something personal rather than something about crybaby. Many say this ep is the worst out of the 4 which makes me sad since this ep is personal to Melanie instead of being about crybaby. Hope she starts doing what she wants and doesn't become afraid of releasing a more personal album/ep.
POV: this ep is one of her best works>>>>>

Melanie: "Write this down baby"
Me:YES MAM -
since someone incorrectly stated the song meanings
things in quotations literally came from her instagram
song meanings
Notebook: “Notebook” is a very emotionally raw breakup song from 2017 about setting boundaries after being taken for granted.
Test me: ""Test Me” is a song about accepting the challenges of life as tests from the universe that build strength and wisdom. It is also about understanding that your experiences in life/school teach you more than the actual classes themselves."
Brain and heart: "Brain & Heart is about the importance of being balanced in your decision making. Using an equal amount of logic & emotion."
Numbers: Melanie sings about the music industry and how one can feel disposable, underpaid and overworked
Glued: sings about attachment and detachment in reference to love "When you’re detached you save yourself from potential hurt but never get to feel that level of love."
Field trip: it's about who she is as a person, how she is an empath, how she is a scorpio, and people trying to confine her to one thing which she always gets out of
The bakery: was about when melanie worked in a bakery when she was in high school so that she could pay for her art and music -
NUMBERS JUST HITS DIFFRENT, CHANGE MY MIND
-
Yall sleeping on test me 😩
-
Melanie martinez is like fine wine....
instead of getting worse over time, she continues to get better -
this is probs her most underrated album, cuz its like her after school and it like adds to cry baby and k-12. That's why I love it sm.
such an underrated album -
My father says Melanie is a bad influence he also says that Billie is a bad influence and I can see why he thinks Billie is because her songs look and sound kinda sus but both of these artists make there music say messages that give us their experience or the future of what life is like for younger viewers to hear and expect similar problems like how the singer that sang the songs experienced. I love Melanie because she dose theses things as well as Billie.
